Man accused in Va. kidnap waives extradition

The accused abductor of a Virginia girl found in San Francisco waived his extradition on Tuesday and will be heading southeast to face kidnapping charges.

Jeffrey Scott Easley did not fight his transfer during a brief hearing in San Francisco Superior Court.

Roanoke County police detective John McPhail said Easley will return to Virginia within 48 hours to be arraigned for allegedly kidnapping 12-year-old Brittany Mae Smith and for credit card fraud.

"As soon as we can make the arrangements," McPhail said.

The girl was with Easley when police arrested him Friday outside a San Francisco supermarket, after a woman recognized the two from TV news reports. They hadn't been seen since being spotted Dec. 3 on a Walmart surveillance video outside Roanoke, Va.
